Lots of Gunks Climbing Instruction

With great weather all week and Labor Day weekend Mountain Skills Climbing Guides were busy on the cliffs. I did a lot of Learn To Lead courses and also had a great day with Noah climbing all the routes on the Arrow Wall. Wes Converse and Brendan Mealia headed up to Rumney in New Hampshire to clip bolts for a couple of days with Wes red-pointing 5.12a/b and Brendan red-pointing 5.10d. John Mackey and our friend Gabi went to the Wind Rivers Range in Wyoming for a week. I’ll get some photos from him and a trip report this week. Mark Folsom got rave reviews from a client on his own Top Rope Anchor building class. The leaves are already starting to change in the higher elevations and a real feel of fall is at hand. Brendan and Ralph will be headed to New Jersey this week to guide on some of the rock in the Delaware Water Gap. Things are really starting to shape up well for everyone and I am proud of our guides traveling to different areas to climb and guide.
